Plz help
Alter your build slightly to something like this, gives you more sta/mana and spell power instead of where u put the points originally, ofc it depends a little what your gear is like, if you have good +spell health and mana pools then some demonology talents will enchance this, if your stats are poor I'd be tempted to put some points into affliction as you might need improved life tap to regen some mana.

Don't try to vw tank with destro it's pointless, the name of the game is to dps the mobs down before they can do you any damage usually with imp to add a little dps, and boost your hp with blood pact, the most effective way of doing this is using a high dmg cast as an opener from max range usually shadow bolt, then fit in as much dps as you can while it comes to you. If its still alive, time to fear. Alternatively you can seduce nuke if the mob is humanoid with the succi, dps at max range no dots, seduce when it gets too close, run to max range, dps rinse repeat.
Having said that you got to decide yourself what pet to use for what situation, how to pull, what to pull, can the mob(s) be feared? learn how to play by making mistakes and trying out new ways of dealing with different mobs, it's the best way.

If you do the above mentioned DPS rotation you'll run dry in a few pulls. When I was Destruction spec'd I would send in my Voidwalker, let him grab aggro and then use Corruption, Immolate, one Shadow Bolt and Conflagrate to tear the mob down.
Life Tap and Drain Life (with Curse of Shadow on) to regain lost mana on the next mob. This cycle enabled me to keep grinding with very little downtime. As long as you don't get unwanted adds, Destruction is quite fun. Kind of like being a Mage with a pet.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
Voidwalker...
Curse of Agony, Corruption, Immolate + Wand...
At earlier levels its sometimes more efficient to take the Higher ( & mana free ) Damage of your succubus. Just Curse of Agony, Corruption, & Wand ( or Drain life ) No Immolate as that will instantly taunt it to you.
You shouldn't be using ANY Direct damage spells in Solo PvE as a Destro build, your simply not efficient enough. There are exceptions at higher levels ( 50 + ) When your facing Low HP High damage casting mobs, & You've learned to use Improved drain Soul...
CoA + Corruption + Immolate + Wand using Voidwalker. Fight lower level mobs. 3 or so lvls below you was the most efficient, I found. ( as destro )

I gave up trying to lvl as "dest" - saving that part for emergencies.
I was SM/ruin - and I either did drain tanking or drain hunting.
Drain hunting is sic vw, coa, cor, wait for vw to land second taunt - then immo. Tap self, drain, and SBolt or wand to end fight.
I used the destr part of my build to nuke down adds and win tough fights. But destr imho is not good for long periods of grinding/farming. There are people who do it - but I joined the "why sit on your can drinking when you can drain tank or drain hunt and kill faster and more efficiently overall" crowd. GL.

i just switched to a Dark Pact/ Ruin build today and i grindined a whole quest which was kill 20 mobs in zangarmarsh, didn't stop to refill mana or Hp once!! incredible, if i get aggro i just place CoE and walk away from mobs i love it, wish there was an AoE slowing spell. guess that would be to much like a mage
